Hey, I met Kay Dunn before Geek Love was published (it was a dinner arranged by my college advisor, since Kay was an alum and I was an aspiring writer) and she told me the plot of it, and I was just like, that sounds so dumb. At least, that's what I thought, in my pathetic undergraduate brain.

Her earlier books are interesting, too. Attic and Truck, I think. They were first published without any punctuation -- but the subsequent editions changed that.

A writer and visual artist, Kristy Bowen is the author of several book, chapbook and zine projects, including the recent full-length collections SALVAGE (Black Lawrence Press, 2016) and MAJOR CHARACTERS IN MINOR FILMS (Sundress Publications, 2015),
She lives in Chicago, where she runs dancing girl press & studio and spends much of her time writing, making papery things, and editing a chapbook series devoted to women authors. As her day job alter ego, she works in the library of an arts college, where she oversees the reserve collection and co-curates The Aesthetics of Research, a project devoted to the intersection of libraries and the arts.

Her seventh book, LITTLE APOCALYPSE, is due out from Noctuary Press in 2018.
